Tiger Woods says the greens at Oak Hill are ‘spotty’
August 2, 2013 by

March 24, 2013 by
Hitting your tee shot in a hazard is never fun, but sometimes you can get lucky and play it out. That happened to Matt Every on Sunday at the Arnold Palmer Invitational. His tee shot on the par-4 third hole found the water, but it was playable and Every went after it. The result? Just […]

It was a solid opening round for Tiger Woods on Thursday at the Arnold Palmer Invitational. In his seven previous wins at Bay Hill, Tiger’s opening round scoring average was 69.14, so he did just a touch better on Thursday with his 3-under 69. The best part of his day came on the par-5 16th, […]
Phil Mickelson explains what exactly a ‘dumb’ question is all about at Bay Hill

I’m not sure if it’s during the Golf Channel’s airing of the Arnold Palmer Invitational Pro-Am or the first round coverage (by the looks of his shirt today, this was from Wednesday), but Steve Sands caught up with Phil Mickelson […]

There is no feeling better to a golfer than pulling off the exact golf shot you need at the perfect time, especially when that comes on the final hole of a tournament.

Video: Chris Berman is not a huge fan of the bunkers at Spyglass Hill
February 8, 2013 by
One of the most underrated parts of the Pebble Beach Pro-Am is actually seeing celebrities struggle mightily with their golf games. It isn’t poking fun, per se, but it is nice to see professional athletes in other sports or famous talking heads hack it around the golf course like you and I do. So I […]
